This book is such an entertaining read, I wish it was 20 chapter longer!  It&#8217;s highly entertaining, wonderfully written, and mixes in history so well with the overall story, it&#8217;s hard to tell where fact ends and fiction begins.  <\/p>\n<p>J.P. Morgan, Presidents William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, John Astor, William Vanderbilt and other historical figures from\u00a0America&#8217;s\u00a0past are featured thoughtout the book. \u00a0 They come to life as does early 20th century America. \u00a0It&#8217;s rather remarkable how much America of 1912 resembles America of 2012 (politically, economically, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>If you have a Kindle, I highly recommend <em>The Titanic Plan<\/em>.  If you don&#8217;t have a Kindle, it&#8217;s worth getting one to read this book.  The terrific thing is, <em>The Titanic Plan<\/em> is only $3.99.   But hurry, the publisher may be moving the price upward as readers discover this book. (I bought it for only .99 a couple of weeks ago.)<\/p>\n<p>And yes, it reads like a movie!  And <em>The Titanic Pla<\/em>n will make a fantastic movie!  I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised one bit if movie rights are being negotiated at this moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few blog posts ago, I wrote about the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and recommended a book written by one of the survivors.
